Because He Cares Updates:
LIVING LEGENDS
This is an exciting new avenue for BHC to give to today's youth the opportunity to
interview and spend time with today's Living Legends. These are some of the people
who are making history in our community everyday. This was birth out of Because He Cares being honored one of the many Black Pioneers displayed at the Dr. Shirla McClain Gallery at the University of Akron. Stay connect with us as we take this journey by reading our weekly blog "Let Us Journey Together".
OUTREACH:
Live Drama Ministry
– Since 1980, tens of thousands of people have heard the message of hope made possible through Jesus Christ. Plays like “No Choice Left”, “Days Gone By”, “A Matter of Attitude”, “The Grip” and “Street Life” have been presented in correctional facilities, drug rehab centers, to youth groups, for ministry retreats, in schools, universities, urban ministries and in churches. These gripping dramas reflect the issues of contemporary life and offer hope through Jesus Christ.

Testimonies:
“Man, that's exactly what it's like" says one recovering addicts after seeing a presentation of “The Grip”. This play’s powerful depiction of the drug cocaine and its ability to control and even seemingly “talk to” its victims has impacted the lives of hundreds of people who have seen it. However, hope for a new life is available through Jesus Christ.
